The members of Arizona ACE Consortium promote ideas, policies and practices that reduce and prevent childhood adversity and build resilience in individuals, families and communities. ACEs can last a lifetime, but they don't have to.

Here's a place where you can review books, educational dvds and documentaries that relate to ACE concepts or trauma-informed practices. "Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world." ~ Nelson Mandela

Join in conversations inspired by Donna Jackson Nakazawa's book, Childhood Disrupted: How Your Biography Becomes Your Biology, and How You Can Heal. We'll chat about the latest research on how ACEs can affect our health, happiness, and relationships; vent a little; and brainstorm our best ideas for resiliency and healing.

Connecting and informing the faith community how to integrate PACE concepts into the faith-based community.

We are facilitators, social services providers, and residents committed to significantly reducing ACEs and building resilience in the lives of the diverse children of Tucson and Pima County. Starting with education about ACEs, we aim to empower community members in diverse groups to create culture change that permanently replaces ACEs with resilience-building as childhood experiences.

If you're doing ACEs histories, please do a short blog post or contact one of the community managers so that we can do so for you.
